Sudanese Vice President Ali Osman Taha vowed the regime would maintain its opposition to a UN peacekeeping force for Darfur and hailed Hezbollah as a model of resistance, official media said yesterday. "We have options and plans for confronting the international intervention," state news agency SUNA quoted Taha as telling a rally in the North Kordofan State capital of El Obeid late Thursday.

He cited the toll which the Hezbollah had "exacted in the ranks of the (Israeli) army" during the devastating conflict in Lebanon through its "determination, patience and political will". "We are prepared for all possibilities," the vice president said. He called for "an effective working programme and strenuous action" to oppose the UN force approved by the Security Council on Thursday, but did not elaborate. |
